Didn't brought a watch, the phone's battery is empty and too lazy to ask.

My way of disconnecting and just enjoying the experience without minding the time

It was drizzling when we got there, then the rain poured, minutes later.

Took a power nap after we set up our things inside the tent.

And then I woke up with this view.

I think even if I'm not using a BW film, the mood of the photo would still be similar to this. The entire area was a bit gloomy due to rain, it was foggy at the same time.

Had our dinner then lights out around 9pm.

Before getting inside the tent, you can't help but look at the vastness of the star-filled night sky.

It was just my second time sleeping in a tent. The first time was during our family camping when I was 7. I didn't feel uneasy, though. I had a good sleep actually. Not sure if I was just too tired or the inner nomad in me was too comfortable with the wilderness' soil.

We were scheduled to start the trail by 2am so that we will be at the summit just in time for the Sunrise.

The Trail.

The span between the Ranger station camp to Camp 1 would probably be the hardest because: No warm up + no breakfast is such a bad combo.

But then I survived the rest of the trail with a half pack of Skyflakes and 2 packs of chocolate.

And few gulps of water really do helped a lot in energy restoration.

hours later..

which I didn't felt at all

At the Summit

I think the collective wish that time was for the sun to go up faster. Not only for us to witness the beauty but we are also after the heat.

It was crazy cold up there!

The show's about to start and the audience were waiting.

The stage was still covered by the curtain of fog.

Few minutes upon seeing the Sea of clouds and the vast landscape at the summit, I actually had a Snow Leopard Moment (Yes, in reference with Walter Mitty movie)
